Morning Look: Shoeless Saul

Presenting our third in a series of "Nationals players lying prone following an unsuccessful defensive play." Part I and Part II still available for your viewing pleasure. The complete collection should be ready sometime in September.

This photo, by The Post's Toni Sandys, features Saul Rivera, whose leather-losing collision with third baseman Pete Orr in the eighth inning evidently had something to do with the team's latest loss and had everyone talking.

Orr: "Uh, what's that? Right there. That black thing. Look, see?"

Flores: "I got it, I got it." [Throws shoe into center field.]

Shoeless Saul: "If you build it...."

Roger Clemens: "Extraneous pieces of ball-playing equipment, when found on the field, should always be tossed in the general direction of Mike Piazza."

Nikita Khrushchev: "We will bury you!"

Kevin Plank: "New ad campaign: We Must Tighten Our Laces!"

After the jump, a happier sight, provided by the AP's Nick Wass. Hint: The Lerners sent out a search crew looking for the pot o' gold.

While the short-lived double rainbow was cool, the frightening brightness of the primary rainbow was damn spectacular. I mean, that bastige was five- to six- colors deep! (First rainbow-related post on the Bog?)
See you at Nats Park tonight--GO, NATS!
